But, for those of you who don't know who he was, and/or want a
woodworking connection, sroll down to the picture of the overhead
cabinet.

Real Bummer! the "Von Dutch Touch" was a sign of being on top of it "back
then". I have a "flying eyeball" tee shirt that has never been worn. Done by
"Big Daddy Ed Roth" at the Goodguys Show in Dallas about 10 years ago.
Prized possession!

I used to have some links to info on him, but don't know what
happened to them. One of my favorites is the Mercedes 300 coupe he
flamed. I understand that ticked off a LOT of the sports car types.
Amazing some of the stuff he made, and the quality of it all.

What about today ? I'd never heard of Von Dutch until a year or so
ago. Now the logo is all over T shirts worn by chav mallrats and the
usual teentrash - it's like Tommy Hilfiger or Burberry.

There's even an ironic version with "Von Chav" printed on it.
